I could use some assistance with the content check test. I ran the following according to the docs: curl -s https://172.25.6.5/ | ./bbdigest sha1 And got this back: sha1:4be32a2e3ae52ecdba7c66582b4f861a7cf2e17e So I made this entry: cont=WebCont;https://172.25.6.5/;Expected:sha1:4be32a2e3ae52ecdba7c66582b4f8 61a7cf2e17e But I always get: Content match failed What did I do wrong?

Multiple host entries
by Kevin.Hanrahan＠novainfo.com 24 Feb '05

24 Feb '05

Hello all, I have entered the same host in bb-hosts several times to build different views and I am getting these error messages now in bbtest: Error output: Host server1 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results Host server2 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results Host server3 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results Host server4 appears twice in bb-hosts! This may cause strange results 1) is this a big problem? 2) If it is not a problem, can I shut this error off? 3) Am I taking the wrong approach to build different views by putting same host in bb-hosts several times? Any input appreciated Thanks Kevin Note: The information contained in this email and in any attachments is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.

This is a minor thing, but I thought I'd let you know. After upgrading to RC3, I tested bb-ack.sh and it works fine. After that, I disabled the test that I had just ack'ed. When I looked at the webpage, the "blue dot" was pointing to blue-ack.gif, which doesn't exist. Thanks

more on alerts
by kevin.grady＠gmail.com 24 Feb '05

So reading the man page for alerts does the following make sense. Configure a rule for with no duration for the primary oncall contact and then create a second rule matching the first, but include DURATION>15. If the above makes sense, I am assuming that if the primary oncall contact acks the alert within the 15 minute span, the second alert would not be triggered.

alerts

Is their functionality in hobbit to do alert escalation? I read through the man page and nothing jumps out as a method to do this. I ask because we have a small 4 man rotation of oncall personal and I'd like to setup all alerts to go the primary oncall contact and if no acknowledgement has been made in X amount of time, send out an alert to the group. That way everyone keeps their pagers on, but only the primary receives the first alert. Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks

post-RC3 patch problems
by ajeffco＠orhs.org 24 Feb '05

Ok, After applying post-RC3 patch, I'm still getting the following issues: During the ./configure --- snip --- What userid will be running Hobbit [hobbit] ? /configure[215]: getent: not found. Found passwd entry for user hobbit:*:203:201::/home/hobbit:/usr/bin/ksh Make and make install go smoothly. --- /snip --- Firefox: When clicking on bbtest or hobbitd_larrd icons, I can at least get to the page, but get a warning that says "Program Crashed", fatal signal caught, for those two icons. No Apache errors are generated when Firefox is used. Internet Explorer: When I click on bbtest or hobbitd_larrd, I get an Internal server error. Here's what I get in the Apache error log for an IE hit: [Thu Feb 24 12:30:49 2005] [error] [client 10.254.15.4] Premature end of script headers: bb-hostsvc.sh, referer: http://hobbit/ >From the larrd-status.log file: 2005-02-24 12:18:00 Worker process died with exit code 393350, terminating. The error repeats, the only difference is time and exit code. >From the hobbitlaunch.log file: 2005-02-24 12:17:09 Task bbretest started with PID 368672 2005-02-24 12:17:10 Task larrdstatus terminated, status 1 2005-02-24 12:17:10 Task larrdstatus started with PID 364782 2005-02-24 12:18:00 Task larrdstatus terminated, status 1 2005-02-24 12:18:05 Task bbnet started with PID 364784 2005-02-24 12:18:06 Task bbnet terminated by signal 6 Here's what I'm using: AIX 5.3.0.1 Apache 2.0.53 (Built from Source) Perl v5.8.2 (Installed with AIX) I've tried to include all the relevant information. Also, is there a list archive for this list, where I can search for similar issues? I thought I had seen a few issues like mine (with possible resolutions), but now cannot find them in my e-mail.
